Description
Summary:This dataset contains data from a two-part experiment described in the paper: Transgenerational plasticity responses of oysters to ocean acidification differ with habitat, J Exp Biol jeb.239269. This paper assessed the role of tidal habitat on the existing and transgenerational response of larvae of the Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata to ocean acidification caused by elevated carbon dioxide (CO2). In experiment 1, gravid Sydney rock oysters were collected from the subtidal and high intertidal zone and brought into the hatchery. Their gametes were collected and fertilized and the size of eggs, shell length of D-veliger larvae, percentage of D-veliger larvae, and percentage of D-veliger larvae that were abnormal, was determined after 48 hours of exposure to ambient (400 µatm) and elevated (1000 µatm) CO2. In experiment 2, non-gravid adult Sydney rock oysters were collected from the subtidal and high intertidal zone and brought into the hatchery. Adults were conditioned in the hatchery under two ... : Details of how the measurements were taken can be found in the methods section of the associated manuscript that is referenced above. ...
